How to Make Egg Drop Chicken Soup

  1. Pour 4 cups of chicken stock into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. While the stock heats, crack 2 large eggs into a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce. Whisk vigorously until well combined.
  3. Once the stock is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer.
  4. Slowly drizzle the egg mixture into the simmering broth, stirring constantly with a fork to create thin, delicate strands.
  5. Continue to stir gently for about 30 seconds, or until the egg is cooked through but still slightly tender.
  6. Remove from heat immediately and serve the soup hot. Garnish with extra parsley, if desired.
